Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.
-I Am the Messenger


Someone sighs as true love again is found
She wishes so deeply that she could be,
Someone singing of love without a sound.

He falls to his knees, face upon the ground
But then gains hope for he can always see
As someone sighs. True love again is found.

She leaves her wishes in a crumpled mound,
Resigns to life without the silent glee
Of someone singing of love without sound.

He lives as thoughts spin round and round and round
All telling him that he can never flee.
As someone sighs, true love again is found.

She feels as if she’s slowly being drowned,
Searching desp’rately for the only key--
Someone singing for love without a sound.

Eventually, they both do come around.
Two heavy hearts, from chains at last set free.
Someone sighs as true love again is found
Someone singing of love without a sound.
